LEAF HOUND - Growers Of Mushrooms

Artist:  Leaf Hound
Album: Growers Of Mushrooms
Year:  1970
Genre:  Heavy Rock

Leaf Hound is a cult classic among fans that love to rummage through boxes at corner record stores searching for bands that influenced the next generation of rock and metal.  They had a incredible knack for mixing hard rock with a subtle blues vibe that always seemed to creep its way into most of the early heavy music from the 70s.  Their raw and unfiltered sound would've made Blue Cheer turn their heads and had Leslie West nodding in approval, yet, Leaf Hound had just enough of that psychedelic influence to calm the beast from time to time.  What a great record!  Good luck finding an original copy of this.  Sometimes LP represses are a good thing.

Listen to "Freelance Fiend" here.
